a guy I used to be quite close friends with, started not talking to me in person and avoiding me. He still liked some of my posts on facebook though for some some reason, some of the more negative ones. I got real tired of it personally so I just decided to delete my account and make a new one that I have him blocked on, and only add people that talk to me or I know personally. He found out on the bus ride to work, and looked back at me like he was upset, and then avoided me the whole day. He even saw I was sitting outside once and went right back in. Does anyone know why the hell someone would act like this over dumb facebook?

Probably he's isolated and has trouble communicating and is probably very bored. To me that's probably why you could be dealing with an annoying attention seeker.

You deleted your account and made a new one all to avoid him and your surprised he’s upset about it. 0.o
I’d be upset too.

I'd figure someone doesn't want to be my friend if they are going to go behind my back to avoid me. It's really hurtful when you realize that people you thought were your friends really aren't. I rather avoid someone who would rather avoid me than be my friend too.

Yes and all he said was he had something on his mind which I'm tired of hearing

If it’s the same guy from that other thread, didn’t you say you were moving to work at McDonald’s??

Oh, that’s right! Opening two threads on the same topic is a no-no.

I would guess that he perceives your move as rejection (you did reject him). Humans tend to perceive rejection as a hurtful, hostile action and he is responding accordingly.
